Just as he was about to speak, Fu Chi came in carrying Hong Yun on his back. Hong Yun was still asleep. Su Peisheng quickly caught him and placed Hong Yun on Fourth Master's bed.
Honghui sent Fu Chi, "Go back to the tent and wait for orders."
Fu Chi responded and quickly retreated.
Fourth Master asked with great interest, "How do you know that something is not normal outside this late at night?"
"My son heard the sound of horse hooves. A lot of horse hooves." Honghui's eyes were still a little panicked, "Who dares to mobilize the soldiers and horses in Rehe without authorization?"
Fourth Master smiled and thought to himself, this is what he wants to know too.
Seeing fear in Honghui's eyes, he shook his head and pointed to the couch on the side, "Go up and sleep. Didn't you hear it was quiet outside? It's okay!"
Honghui had no choice but to take off his cloak and lie down on the couch. He asked the servant Su Peisheng to put away his bow and arrows, but he still held the sword in his arms to feel safe.
The fourth master shook his head helplessly. When it came time for him to ask his son to do it himself, the world would have changed its master. Honghui looked calm, but he still needed to practice.
After another half an hour, it started to get noisy outside.
After a while, the eunuch in front of the emperor called the fourth master over.
The Fourth Master first dismissed the eunuch who was delivering the message, and then got up and put on his clothes. Honghui hurriedly got up and asked Su Peisheng to take out the knee pads for the Fourth Master and put them on. It would be really hard for him to kneel down in this cold weather.
.
After this delay, it was a little late when we arrived outside the royal tent. The snow outside could reach up to our ankles, but the brothers were kneeling straight in the snow.
The fourth master went over and knelt down in his own place without saying anything.
Tonight, someone mobilized five thousand soldiers and horses in Rehe. This was to force the palace. But who did this? The fourth master was also at a loss.
The brothers are all smart people. Everyone is looking at their noses and their noses are looking at their hearts with their eyes lowered. No one exchanges glances with each other.
No matter how cold it is now, I can't feel the cold anymore.
"Call that beast in here." The emperor's tired and angry voice came from inside.
Beast? Who are you scolding?
Before Fourth Master could figure it out, Zhang Tingyu came out and said, "Masters, the Emperor has a decree to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to go in and ask questions."
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned and all looked at the prince.
Seeing the sarcastic smile on the corner of the prince's mouth, he stood up nonchalantly, looked at everyone else, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
Is this crazy?
But will he really be the prince? The Fourth Master doesn't know. He needs time to process this sudden incident.
There was no clue here, but the furious voice of Prince Zhi came from the other side, "Yinreng, you beast!" As he said that, he jumped up and punched the prince in the face.
The third master was stunned. Before he even asked anything, Prince Zhi had already convicted the prince? It would be childish.
He immediately grabbed Prince Zhi and said, "Brother, second brother hasn't spoken yet?"
The prince only wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth where he was beaten by Prince Zhi, and sneered twice, "I have been the prince for thirty years, and this is what happened today."
Prince Zhi immediately threw another punch.
"Prince Zhi, how dare you offend me!" The fourth master could not stand up and stood up immediately.
Then, the brothers behind him all stood up. We can't let Prince Zhi fight with the prince.
"Zhang Tingyu, please call me the eldest brother and the second brother." The emperor's voice came from inside again.
Zhang Tingyu responded quickly, then turned around and said: "Two gentlemen, let's go in first, the emperor is waiting."
The fourth master watched the two people go in, but for a moment, he didn't know which of the two people's performances was true and which was false?
Kangxi looked at his two sons below with a livid face, and said to Zhang Tingyu: "You can ask questions on my behalf."
Zhang Tingyu responded before asking: "Prince, your Majesty asked, does tonight's matter have anything to do with His Highness?"
The prince smiled and said, "Whether it's relevant or not, whatever Emperor Ama decides is what it is."
Not even a word of defense was said.
Prince Zhi glared at the prince and said, "If you dare to do it, don't admit it! You are not worthy to be a descendant of my Xinjueluo family."
The prince smiled mockingly at Prince Zhi again, and then laughed loudly, "Don't you know better than anyone else whether I have done it before? Ask me now."
Kangxi's expression changed, "You beast, are you dissatisfied with me?"
Prince Zhi took over and said: "Of course he is dissatisfied. He just said that he has been a prince for thirty years. What's wrong with being a prince for thirty years? Are you tired of being a prince? Do you want to steal the throne? Do you want to kill your father?
Your Majesty? How did Emperor Ama treat you when you were a child? Now you are repaying Emperor Ama like this! Where is your conscience?" Then he shouted to the emperor, "Huang Ama, I am willing to take my place.
Emperor Ama, kill this beast!"
Kangxi's face turned pale, he raised his foot and kicked Prince Zhi, "You beast, that's your brother."
Prince Zhi's heart was already cold at this moment. He didn't know where the other brothers were. He only knew that a few hours ago, his tent was surrounded by people sent by the emperor on three levels inside and three outside. This was not done by the emperor.
I believe in my son.
But in all conscience, he really didn't do anything. And the only one who had the motive to do so was the prince.
This beast, no matter how many faults the emperor has, he is still his biological father. How could he do such a disobedient thing?
The prince smiled coldly, "I have never done it. Again, I have never done it." But Huang Ama was the first to doubt him. This was what made him feel chilled.
Prince Zhi stood up and grabbed the prince's neck, "If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"
The prince was choked and couldn't say a word. Tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes. He was indescribably sad.
Prince Zhi is a military commander, so how can Zhang Tingyu and Li Dequan keep them apart?
Zhang Tingyu shouted: "Prince Zhi, this is the imperial palace. Please let go of the prince first."
But if a person is angry to a certain level, he will not listen to others' advice. Li Dequan saw the emperor's face getting paler and said: "Third Master, Third Master, please come in."
People outside kept listening to what was going on inside. The third brother heard the call to him and stood up quickly. Thirteen also stood up. The third brother was no match for Prince Zhi. It was in vain to go there.
The Fourth Master frowned and glanced at Old Thirteen, then shook his head gently.
Thirteen sniffed, and his attitude was very determined. He had been tied to the prince for these years, so he couldn't let anything happen to him.
The third master opened the curtain and went in. He saw that Prince Zhi was about to strangle the prince to death, and he quickly said: "Prince Zhi, are you planning to kill someone to silence him? You killed the prince so eagerly, maybe you wanted to find someone to take the blame, right?
.”
This was the only reason he could think of. Everyone knew that the prince was not free. But before the emperor asked any questions, Duke Zhi reacted so fiercely. Could it be that he did it and put the blame on the prince?
Prince Zhi was stunned, and Shisan hurried over, pulled Prince Zhi away, supported the prince, and encouraged him, but said nothing.
When the third master saw that the prince was fine, he stepped forward to check. Prince Zhi grabbed the third master and asked, "Third brother, what do you mean?"
The third master was also annoyed, "What do I mean? Don't you know, brother? I see that second brother is like this tonight, and it's all because of brother."
"Is it my fault?" Prince Zhi immediately clenched his fists, "Your good second brother is dissatisfied with Huang Ama, and you heard just now. Could it be that I am also responsible for this?"
The third master said casually: "Then who knows? Maybe it was you who cursed me on weekdays, which caused my second brother to behave abnormally."
Who wouldn't curse someone they hate behind each other's back? Mr. San's words were really unintentional.
In fact, even Prince Zhi didn't take it seriously. If the curse had any effect, he wouldn't have cursed him all the time.
Thirteen listened to the two chattering incessantly and said: "That's alright! No wonder people say that the most ruthless emperor's family is the one."
The fourth master heard it outside and immediately scolded: "Thirteen, shut up!"
What does "the most ruthless emperor's family" mean? Does it mean that Emperor Ama is ruthless and not a loving father? Or does it mean that there is no brotherhood between brothers and they only know how to kill each other?
At such a time, is it appropriate to say such shocking words?
Thirteen heard it inside and shut up decisively.
But these words still touched the emperor's sore spot.
"The third brother is here to stay. The eldest brother, the second brother, and the thirteenth brother are all under my supervision." Kangxi pressed his chest and said to the guard Tukshi on the side.
Tukesh shouted, and immediately the guards rushed in and took the three elder brothers down.
The prince came over slowly and did not need anyone to escort him. He just sneered and walked out without even looking at the emperor.
Thirteen said to Tukesh: "I don't need you to keep me in custody."
Prince Zhijun was completely confused. Did the emperor really want to imprison him? He doubted the prince, but the emperor should have put him and the prince in the same position. Who is better than whom?
This realization was a huge blow to him. He swayed and fell down.
Before I lost consciousness, I heard the emperor say, "Take it down and lock it up."
Seeing his three sons being pressed down, Kangxi felt heartbroken and even found it difficult to breathe.
"Your Majesty!" Li Dequan shouted in loss of voice.
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Tingyu shouted with a trembling voice, "Imperial Physician, please send me the Imperial Physician."
The third master rushed towards him, but was blocked by Li Dequan. It suddenly dawned on him that the emperor was ill, and his own son was the most taboo person and could not get close to him. He was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to take advantage of him.
Although I understand, I still feel uncomfortable.
Everyone outside watched in astonishment as Prince Zhi, Crown Prince, and Thirteen were taken away. Then, they heard voices inside. For a moment, they were eager to go in and take a look. The person inside was at least his biological father.
The fourth master had already walked halfway before he suddenly realized. He stopped and said, "Everyone, stop. No one is allowed to come near without an imperial edict."
After saying that, he knelt down in the snow. Then he looked at all the brothers with a cold face. Everyone came back silently and knelt down in their own positions.
After a while, the third master also came out and knelt beside the fourth master.
Inside, Kangxi finally regained his breath, and Zhang Tingyu cried: "Your Majesty, you are trying to scare me to death. If you have any shortcomings, who can control the current situation?"
Kangxi leaned on the soft pillow and waved his hands, "I know my body myself. What do you think of today's matter?"
Zhang Tingyu pondered for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty, could I please take a look at the handbook for mobilizing troops?"
Kangxi looked at the expressions of the prince and Prince Zhi just now, and the anger that had arisen gradually disappeared little by little. Now that he thought about it carefully, it seemed that there were really many doubts about it. He showed the manuscript to Zhang Tingyu
Look, I saw Zhang Tingyu holding it in his hand and looking at it carefully for a long time before asking, "How is it?"
Zhang Tingyu sighed and offered it with both hands, "Your Majesty, please take a closer look at the seal."
The more Kangxi held it in his hand, the more his hands shook. "It's fake! It's actually fake! Someone made a fake prince's handwriting!" He looked at Zhang Tingyu in astonishment, "Who did it? Who did this? Who did this?
His heart can be punished! His heart can be punished!" (. )
